Electronic vs Digital Signature
Electronic signature: an image of your signature placed on a PDF. Simple, widely accepted for business documents. Digital signature: a cryptographically verified signature attached to the file metadata, often requiring a certificate authority. Required for high-assurance legal contexts. For most everyday documents (contracts, forms, agreements), an electronic signature is sufficient.
